I used mostly #10, but pattern calls for the #10 or #8 bent hook and the brand I used was Daiichi 1270.Quote:

Take 4 strands of skirt material about double the hook length and tie in 2 on each side and then once secure wrap forward to end of chenille.
Cut about a pencil lead size bit of squirrel tail and cut to length so when tied in it will extend to about the end of the hook.
Tie off and Head Cement.
Note I also put a tiny drop of cement on the thread under side where the skirt is wrapped.
Here is a link to where I learned it.

Those are some sweet bugs. I bet a Georgia Red Breast would tear on of them UP!
you have a good pattern skip looks like squirrel hair that you used but I imagine they would be deadly the bluegills are still hitting real good here .
Thanks guys!
Yes Bob the pattern calls for squirrel hair and what I used. Probably should have time some with a squirrel hair tail too.

Awesome. I make some similar I dont add the hair just the foam body and legs. Might have to add it now!
Welcome to the site and board! This fly has no foam, but has Nylon Black chenille with some .015 lead wire wrapped around the shank to help it sink slow. The .015 lead wire is wrapped for about 1/4" of the shank. Try it you will like it!Quote:
